E. N. Welch “Whittier” shelf clock, ca. 1893.  A 22-inch carved black walnut case with, as usual, an old, dark, and crusty-in-places finish.  There is an old glass with a gold stencil of a Roman warrior.  The old paper dial is in good condition and the hands appropriate.  The 8-day time and half-hour strike movement is signed and running, striking on the hours and half-hours.  A rather plain pendulum for Welch.  Good labels on the back.  $50-$125.
